Christmas (in Norway, anyway...) :P

I was supposed to post this the 24th, but as you all know blogger decided to hate me that particular day. So here it is, posted from my computer instead:

メリークリスマス!
Merry Christmas!
God jul!

I'm santa!☆(≧▽≦)ゞ

Today is the 24th, meaning they're celebrating Christmas back home in Norway. Here in Japan they celebrate on the 25th, so today was my last day of school.

We're having an early Christmas celebration at the grandparent's house tonight. Eating onigiri, chicken and pizza by the looks of it. (・ω・)/

Tomorrow 冬休み, the winter holidays, start. I'm free for two weeks! Minus homework...guh. I think I'll shop for some more clothes, having heard that February is the coldest month in Kagoshima. My god, I'll freeze to death practicing kyudo outdoors... (→o←)

Anyway - to all my family and friends (since any cards you'll get are bound to be late, ahem...): Merry Christmas! ☆ And a happy new year!

Christmas Crazyness

We drive by this shop sometimes. Today we went inside. And let me tell you - it's just as crazy there! Basically they've taken every single American decorational item they could find, smacked it on their shop and crammed it inside. There were some easter signs there that reminded me of those I saw outside a lot of houses while in Michigan. It made me miss the place. I guess I do feel American too, huh? (*^^*)

Evidence of Christmas Crazyness: "TAKE THAT!"

クリスマスが来た！

The Japanese celebrate Christmas too, to a ceirtain extent. Well, at least they put up the decorations. And the trees. Oh, the trees! I'm suspecting it's all just an excuse to put up more キラキラ kirakira.

This one's from outside Amu Plaza in Kagoshima. It's...pink. And yes, that's a crown on top:
